Overview:
A Slicer, Hired Muscle Equipment-focused voltron deck that aims to win through commander damage while generating value through Equipment synergies and artifact interactions.
Primer:
This deck focuses on utilizing its commander as a primary voltron threat, enhanced by a suite of powerful Equipment cards and artifact synergies. The strategy revolves around quickly deploying mana rocks and Equipment, then using efficient attachment enablers like Hammer of Nazahn and Magnetic Theft to create a formidable commander threat. The deck includes several ways to protect its commander and generate additional value through combat damage triggers.
The secondary gameplan involves artifact-based value generation through cards like Professional Face-Breaker and Tome of Legends, while maintaining interaction through targeted removal and protection spells. The deck can also pivot to an aggressive strategy with its Vehicle side of the commander when needed, especially after establishing board presence with Equipment.
Weaknesses:
The deck is heavily reliant on its commander and Equipment staying on the battlefield, making it vulnerable to mass artifact removal and targeted commander removal. Board wipes can be particularly devastating as rebuilding the Equipment suite can be mana-intensive. The deck also struggles against heavy control strategies that can repeatedly remove the commander or prevent combat damage.

Attribute Ratings:
- Speed: 5/10
- Resilience: 6/10
- Consistency: 6/10
- Interaction: 5/10
Rating Justification:
This deck operates at a focused casual level, with the ability to present meaningful threats around turn 6-7 through its voltron strategy. While it includes some powerful Equipment and synergies, it lacks the explosive fast mana and consistent protection needed for higher power levels. The deck would struggle against optimized decks (7+) due to their superior interaction and faster win conditions, but it can effectively compete with other focused casual decks in the 5-6 range.
Final power level rating: 5.5 - 6.0
